The John Clark Motor Group is opening a new £6 million Land Rover dealership.

Work on the 3.45 acre site, at Newbridge on the edge of Edinburgh, starts at the end of this month.

It is expected to open by January next year and will create 20 new jobs across the showroom and workshop.

John Clark, chairman and managing director, said: "This is a very significant development for the John Clark Motor Group and marks our appointment to take over the Land Rover franchise for the whole of Edinburgh and the Lothians.

"The expansion is the latest stage in our commitment to Edinburgh and our investment of £6 million in this new dealership underlines our confidence in the future strength of this market and the Land Rover franchise."
